Hello all.

I'm working with a 'horsepower-limited' device.  And we're trying to get much lower \
CPU usage on file transfers. I was hoping that the none-cipher took effect after the \
passwords and authentication took place, but it doesnt - so the  none-cipher \
basically makes it a firewall-friendly FTP.

Seeing this article online: http://www.psc.edu/networking/projects/hpn-ssh/none.php  \
made me wonder if there was a way to try and fiddle the session so that it might \
change to none in mid-stream.  Say - after I connect and authenticate, i  would \
switch it to none cipher.

Anyone have any thoughts on if this would be possible/impossible with the libssh2 \
source?

Thanks,
Cary
